Drawing A Realistic Eye

This is a fantastic video tutorial on drawing a realistic eye. I did not expect the outcome to be as good as it is. The artist goes from start to finish here and deserves all the credit in the world. The video is sped up but it is a high quality upload so you can catch all the techniques which are used whilst the drawing is under way. Top marks.

I have studied art for most of my life and would easily say that it was my number one passion. I appreciate everything surrounding art but I gear most of my efforts towards anatomy and the human form. I believe there is nothing more beautiful and rewarding than being creative to produce art which does the human figure justice. I hope you enjoy my portfolio and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I also travel the world whilst maintaining this website in the hope to broaden my horizons and discover all the different types of art around the globe.

Hey guys, my name is Jordan, and I am 13 years old. I am an artist. It has always been my dream to be an artist. I have been drawing for years now. I would really appreciate if you watched my video and gave me feedback! Please like this so other people can see this and help my dream come true!

would it be considered low if i used an outline for my drawings ? i cant keep my hand steady at all ): when the blood goes through my hands you can actually see my hand moving as the blood flows through it, it moves it half an inch so i cant keep my hand steady even if my life depended on it ): i suck

Wow, that is amazing. How do you make the hair dark, smooth, and precise? i.e.: the eyelashes. When i do eyelashes, they end up parallel but in a curved way. Yours are so natural. Also with the iris’s details, how do you draw the darker striation imperfections to perfection? lol

Amazing rendering of the human eye. Can you make a vid on how to shade? Your shading technique really stands out amazing job. I can;t seem to make my drawings pop out like yours the 3d effect with your shading is outstanding.

I’m looking for a manga artist for a work project. The artist will receive 20% of the sales of comics to be translated into Italian, English and Japanese. There may be a selection based on style and capabilities. Pleasing a style similar to that of Mzasakazu Katsura (not essential). For more information, write to archimedeprogetti@email.it

I love this! Q: Where do you get your utensils? Yes I know you can get a HB pencil and a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil anywhere. But I was wondering about your 6B graphite pencil and tortillions? I mostly just use a HB 2 pencil and a 0.7 mechanical pencil and for shading mostly my fingers so I that’s why I was wondering.

Looking through a ton of close-up pics of eyes helped me when I ran into that problem… just examine the differences between different people’s lashes (curvature, angle, length…) that have different effects… just and idea, no tips really. :p Try drawing as literally as you can… what you see. It worked for me!

i have never uploaded a video before…i recorded myself drawing and there are 5 videos of it. So, i want to combine them and then speed them up ( like the recordings of the people drawing but super fast because they put it on fast forward or something.) When i uploaded only the first one on the new youtube it said it was too long (40 min.) but i want to put it on fast forward. Do you know how to do that and combine other videos together? PLease help!

omg how long did you actaully take to draw this? its looked so real and ever tearing! ive always hv a fansy to drawing eyes :Obut just felt like there are too much lashes n made it kind of creepy. idk. probs jus bcs other videos i watched hv lesser lashes :/?great work thou!

nice work, but im wondering why do people / u change so often between painting spots. like painting the iris / pupil in the beginning. ur switching around and im thinking is that a progression i gotta make too or is this just random?

omg I saw Muse and I instantly loved you! ð was totally not expecting that haha Anyway, this was really helpful! Thanks! and I really love how the eyelashes turned out + their reflection inside the eye looks amazing. I’ll definitely be re watching this a few times more to see how you did that ð

Hi I have done an realistic eye video along with quite a few other drawing tutorials/.videos and will be putting more on every week. Could you please check my channel out. I’m 13 and I would really love it is SOMEONE gave me a chance:(

TIP: If you don’t have tortillions, then I would suggest to use tissues instead. That can also be used to blend your shading. But Tortillions are better material for pencil artist, since they are more accurate. I hope this answer could help you.

Sigh… If only I had all the pencils she seems to have. I could probably do this although I use pencils I find on the floor in the hallways. I would do anything for a whole set of pencils and erasers and other art supplies… Without those pencils, the drawing would have looked completely different.

After years of painting everything else, I’m finally working mostly in portraiture this year. Your vid is such an inspiration! and, whoa….you hardly ever use the eraser, except to make highlights. I’m the eraser princess for mistakes. LOL. Super skills, man!

hello my name is alex , iīm 14 years old and i looooove to draw. I have been drawing since i was able to hold an pencil, and i still draw a lot. One of my big dreams is to be an known artist, and thats why i made my channel . it would mean the world to me if you would check out my videos and write your opinion about them. thank you for reading this ð

@veygljm sure is right. i couldnt believe it when my friend told me about this site. Listen to this, tomorrow is my first date with a millionaire guy that i got from a rich men community site :P. you can also have a look at it here : bit.ly/ShuU3y?=fdogcc

so annoying that all my art teachers was complete frauds who would say “draw a tree” then say to everyone “thats a nice tree” I was interested in art since about the age of 5 and yet I never had a chance to learn… yet another thing working class people miss out on.

Hmm.. started i wanted to say something to you .. Man ,, you can draw but can’t draw that much perfect … after 5 mins .. hmm .. quit similar , yes , i hope you can do that ,, after 8 mins , wow ,, nice ,, that really really realistic ma.. while ending ,, amazing ,,, i think i want to watch that again . finally ,, hey ,, i know you will draw that man,,,, keep it up .. hehehheehe

question: is ur 6b a special kind? i usually use a charcoal pencil to get really dark values and i hate that thing. It’s so hard to keep a sharp point to draw fine details. And they dont make mechanical pencils for charcoal. any tips?

ask your art teacher or go to your art supplier wherever you are. Pearl Paint is a huge store, Utretch is another, DaVinci, hopefully its in other states too I am not so sure, just check around in your city for art suppliers

That drawing is beyond crazy good. I just started to get back into drawing. I am completely horrible. This video makes me want to get up to that level. Drawing Cartoons is only enjoyable for so long. Realistic drawings, I feel have way more pride in them.

I hope this background information about Tweety(The bird in the video) will make you feel better. Tweety was almost 12 years old when he passed away. During his lifetime we let him out of the cage in our livingroom everyday. From morning till we had dinner. He was more out of his cage then in. He loved flying around in our livingroom and sitting with us. When he was hungry, he flew to his cage to eat. It was a really happy bird and I have loved him very much. The video shows him at his old age.

What a good pet owned >.> My fish and birds don’t last more then 2 months ð Some are lucky and last nearly just 1 year. I have two dogs though, one 3 years and another 2. Ofc they are very unlikely to go to 12 years old because most of them die 7-9 ð

Your drawing are great, with your step so easy to understand, i think i can draw this, but I know u listed some of the names inside the video but can you give me the items and where to get them listed to shade,cross hatch and draw good realistic drawings? Would be very helpful, thanks

Just beautiful, watching you draw with such an eye, if you forgive the pun, for detail. I envy you your talent. I might have been able to draw like that when I was a lot younger , but have lost the ability now. Congratulations , and don’t let anything get in your way of continuing it would be such a shame if you did. Loved watching, thanks for sharing.
